FOG & FURY
Organic and Functional Felt Textiles with the Power to Inspire a Deeper Reverence for the Natural World PHOTOGRAPHY BY MAREN CARUSO
SAN FRANCSICO-BASED Kristin Kelly Colombano discovered her passion for felt while on a photo assignment in Mongolia. She immediately fell in love with the process and spent several years studying internationally with numerous renowned felters before launching Fog & Fury in 2016. “Authenticity, integrity, beauty, and mastery of craft are some of my driving forces.” The felt is made primarily from wool but may feature exotic animal fibers such as yak, alpaca, camel, llama, and mohair. The inspiration behind the design comes from nature: veins in marble, ripples in sand, layered strata of a rugged cliffside, and the perfect imperfection of tree bark. CH Fog & Fury is available through De Sousa Hughes in San Francisco and Thomas Lavin in Los Angeles. fogandfury.com
